Quick Start
1.
Go to the Pattern Play screen (p. 15).
2.
Press [BPM] to get the BPM screen.
The current BPM is displayed.
3.
Turn the VALUE dial or use [DEC][INC] to adjust the BPM (40.0–
200.0).
The BPM can be adjusted in steps of one. You can make adjustments even
while the pattern is playing.
To adjust the BPM in 0.1 units, hold down [FUNC] and turn the VALUE dial.
You can press the [F3] (TAP) button three times or more in succession to set the BPM to the interval
at which you pressed the button (Tap Tempo function).
You cannot change the BPM if “Sync Mode” (p. 79) is set to SLAVE.
4.
Press [EXIT] to return to the Play screen.
You can mute (silence) specific tracks while a pattern plays.
1.
Go to the Pattern Play screen (p. 15).
2.
Press [ ] (Play) to play the pattern.
3.
Press TRACK [1]–[4].
Button lit: playing
Button blinking: muted
If a track button is unlit, that track contains no data.
The mute status of each track can be stored with the pattern. (p. 59)
Including the playback of the song/pattern and the sounds you play from the pads, a maximum of eight notes
can be played simultaneously. Each stereo sample uses two notes.
If you attempt to play more than eight notes simultaneously, the samples you most recently played from the pads
will take priority, and the sample played by a previously pressed pad will stop sounding. Samples whose “Play
Type” (p. 50) is set to PHRASE will take priority over SINGLE samples.
The SP-606’s [INPUT SOURCE] pad lets you start/stop the sound of an external audio input source in the same
way as when controlling a sample. You can also apply effects to this sound.
In the explanation below, we will use a connected CD player as an example.
1.
Make sure that the SP-606 and your CD player are powered off.
2.
On the top panel, turn the AUDIO IN REC LEVEL knob to the minimum position (far left).
3.
Connect your CD player to the rear panel INPUT L/R or DIGITAL IN jack (p. 20).
To prevent malfunction and/or damage to speakers or other devices, always turn down the volume,
and turn off the power on all devices before making any connections.
4.
Power up your CD player.
